Episode 51 - Sometimes You Have to Stand Alone to Stand Out
Manage episode 508311343 series 3564892
Sometimes we feel pressured to blend in when our heart is truly calling us to stand out. Yes, I know you've been there.
In this episode, Dr. Reynolds shares a simple story about standing alone, which resulted in unexpected opportunities for growth. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, business, and history (along with insights from Cal Newport’s Deep Work), Dr. Reynolds explores how figures like Jesus, Rosa Parks, Einstein, Daniel, and Elijah reveal the power of standing apart from the crowd. You’ll discover why true solitude creates clarity, why balance matters, and how standing alone for God is never really being alone.
